Microsoft stock (NASDAQ: MSFT) opened Monday’s trading bell at $385 and is gearing up to reclaim the $400 level. The software giant fell below $400 in June, never to climb above the zone for a month and a half. Several Wall Street commentators are urging clients to buy the dip and accumulate MSFT at these levels. Many analysts have also predicted that the leading equity could bottom out around $370 to $360.
On the heels of a recovery vs a downturn, asset management firm Bernstein has provided the most bullish price target for Microsoft stock. Equity Research analyst Chad Dillard wrote in a note to clients on Friday urging them to take an entry position in MSFT. He maintained his buy rating on the software giant and gave a bigger price target. His forecast estimates a double-digit gain of more than 50%.

What is Bernstein’s Microsoft Stock Price Prediction? (MSFT)
Bernstein’s Chad Dillard gave Microsoft stock a price target of $646. That’s the most bullish projection ever given by a Wall Street analyst in 2026. Dillard is confident of MSFT’s prospects as the company is ahead in the AI sector compared to its competitors. The software titan already has the chips and power grid allocation, and has zeroed in on the real estate to build its data centers. He cited that Microsoft already has a head start and is ahead of the curve among its peers.
He also gave Microsoft an aggressive ‘Outperform’ rating, indicating that current-day holders can make heavy gains. According to the price prediction, Microsoft stock could rise by 68% to reach the target of $646. That’s a profit of close to $261 per share if traders take an entry position today. An investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,680 if the price prediction from Bernstein turns out to be accurate. This would be stellar gains if Chad Dillard’s MSFT target is met.
